Republicans Insist on "Weigh-Ins" for Food Stamp Recipients...

[Skip Intro]

WTF?

snip:

In a bid to curtail waste and fraud within the welfare system, prominent Republicans have come forth with a plan to weigh members of households that receive food stamp benefits. Although details are sketchy as of this writing, the plan, according to an anonymous source, would require monthly "weigh ins" for all members of any household receiving food stamps, with the amount of the monthly benefit being tied to a combination of "ideal weights" and weight gain.

Households whose members gain weight in any given month would see their food stamp benefits reduced, as would households whose members consistently weigh an as yet to be determined percentage above their "ideal weight" as defined by the FDA, the source said.
